Abstract
  • The strategy to achieve sustainable environment in construction industry by reducing greenhouse gas is wide spread every year. Recently, the introduction to the green buildings concept is capable to reduce carbon footprint. However, the growth and expansion of existing building lately is starting to deficiency due to the poor lifecycle period. The previous concept to retrofit existing building is proven to provide improvement towards energy efficiency but with the expense of huge challenges and risks. The risks require solid assessment to ease in decision-making process among internal stakeholders starting from the early stage of the retrofit project. The retrofit concept in Malaysia construction industry is still open for research which motivates to determining the risk involves in planning stage. This paper aims to review risk in planning stage for green retrofit project for commercial buildings through gathering comprehensive literature review. As a result, three main category risks in planning stage (social risk, economic and political risk) is determined and extracted to identify risk. These risks are then quantified through analysis to support the retrofit design option. The proposed conceptual framework model is expected to assist retrofit practitioner to identify and assess the risk that are beneficial in decision-making process.
